  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DISCLOSED EMBODIMENTS
  • Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
  • In the following embodiments, when “A” device is referred to be “connected” or “coupled” to “B” device, the “A” device can be directly connected or coupled to the “B” device, or other devices probably exist there between. Comparatively, when the “A” device is referred to be “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to the “B” device, none other device exits there between.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, the display device 100 may include a touch display panel 10, a multiplexer 20, a display circuit 30 and a touch screen controller 40. The touch display panel 10 may include a display layer and a touch layer, wherein the touch layer is stacked on the display layer. The display circuit 30 is coupled to the display layer of the touch display panel 10. The display circuit 30 may include a scalar, a timing controller, a display panel driver and/or other display control circuit. The display circuit 30 can display a first image of a first image source on the display layer. The display circuit 30 further has a related circuit of an on-screen display (OSD) menu function. The display circuit 30 can display an OSD menu on the touch display panel 10 to facilitate a user to adjust control parameters of the display device 100. The multiplexer 20 can be coupled to the display circuit 30, the touch screen controller 40 and a microprocessor 50. The touch screen controller 40 detects whether the touch layer on the touch display panel 10 is touched, and obtains detection results (for example, detection results det1 and det2) of a touch area on the touch display panel 10. The detection results det1 and det2 in FIG. 1 are respectively detection results obtained when the touch screen controller 40 detects the touch display panel 10 at different time.
  • In a normal display mode, the multiplexer 20 transmits the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 to the first image source. When the first detection result det1 complies with a predetermined pattern, the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30 is triggered to enter a screen adjustment mode. The predetermined pattern can be two continuous touches on a specific touch area or a circle drawn on the touch display panel 10, which is not limited by the disclosure.
  • The first image source may have at least three variations. The first variation is an external host 70, the second variation is the microprocessor 50 in internal of the display device 100, and the third variation is to dynamically select the microprocessor 50 in internal of the display device 100 or the external host 70 to serve as the first image source.
  • Regarding the first variation of the first image source, the first image source is the external host 70. In case of the first variation, the microprocessor 50 can be omitted according to a design requirement. In the normal display mode, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 to the external host 70 under control of the display circuit 30. The external host 70 receives the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 through the multiplexer 20, and provides the first image to the display circuit 30. The external host 70 can continually interpret the detection results output by the touch screen controller 40. When the external host 70 discovers that the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern, the external host 70 sends a command com1 to trigger the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30. A method of determining the predetermined pattern is to execute recognition software on the external host 70 to determine whether the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern. When the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30 is triggered, the display circuit 30 enters the screen adjustment mode, and the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the second detection result det2 of the touch screen controller 40 to the display circuit 30 under control of the display circuit 30. After the display circuit 30 closes the OSD menu function, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the second detection result det2 of the touch screen controller 40 to the external host 70 under control of the display circuit 30.
  • Regarding the second variation of the first image source, the display device 100 further includes the microprocessor 50. In case of the second variation, the first image source can be the microprocessor 50, and the external host 70 can be omitted according to a design requirement. The microprocessor 50 can be coupled to the display circuit 30 and the multiplexer 20. In the normal display mode, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 to the microprocessor 50 under control of the display circuit 30. The microprocessor 50 receives the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 through the multiplexer 20, and executes an operating system to provide the first image. The operating system executed by the microprocessor 50 can be the Linux operating system, though the disclosure is not limited thereto. When the microprocessor 50 discovers that the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern, the microprocessor 50 sends a command com2 to trigger the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30. Moreover, a method of determining the predetermined pattern is to execute recognition software on the microprocessor 50 to determine whether the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern. When the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30 is triggered, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the second detection result det2 of the touch screen controller 40 to the display circuit 30 under control of the display circuit 30. After the display circuit 30 closes the OSD menu function, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the second detection result det2 of the touch screen controller 40 to the microprocessor 50 under control of the display circuit 30.
  • Regarding the third variation of the first image source, the display circuit 30 can display the image of the first image source on the display layer, where the first image source can be a first image of the microprocessor 50 or a second image of the external host 70, and the user can set a default configuration of the first image source to be the microprocessor 50 or the external host 70 through the OSD menu function. In the normal display mode, when the display circuit 30 selects to display the first image of the microprocessor 50 on the touch display panel 10, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 to the microprocessor 50 under control of the display circuit 30. The microprocessor 50 receives the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 through the multiplexer 20, and executes an operating system to provide the first image to the display circuit 30. In the normal display mode, when the display circuit 30 selects to display the second image of the external host 70 on the touch display panel 10, the multiplexer 20 selects to transmit the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 to the external host 70 under control of the display circuit 30. The external host 70 receives the first detection result det1 of the touch screen controller 40 through the multiplexer 20, and provides the second image to the display circuit 30. Descriptions of the other operations can refer to related descriptions of the aforementioned first variation and second variation.
  • According to the above descriptions, when the external host 70 or the microprocessor 50 determines that the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern, for example, complies with a gesture pattern, it sends the command com1 or the command com2 to trigger the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30 to enter the screen adjustment mode. Then, the display circuit 30 displays the OSD menu on the touch display panel 10, and the user can set the OSD menu function by performing touch/move operations on the touch display panel 10. Therefore, during a period that the OSD menu function is triggered, the touch screen controller 40 can detect the touch display panel 10 and transmit the second detection result det2 to the display circuit 30. When the user touches/moves a virtual key/scroll in the OSD menu, the display circuit 30 triggers a parameter command according to the second detection result det2 output by the touch screen controller 40 to adjust a corresponding parameter of options displayed by the OSD menu.
  • The parameter command is to adjust a brightness parameter, a contrast parameter, an image position adjusting parameter, a color parameter, a display frequency adjusting parameter or a signal source input port switching parameter of the OSD menu function, though the disclosure is not limited thereto. The various parameters of the OSD menu function are known by those skilled in the art, so that details thereof are not repeated. If the first image source is the microprocessor 50 in the internal of the display device 100 before the OSD menu function is triggered, after the OSD menu function is closed, the display circuit 30 controls the multiplexer 20 to return a usage right of the touch screen controller 40 to the microprocessor 50. If the first image source is the external host 70 before the OSD menu function is triggered, after the OSD menu function is closed, the display circuit 30 controls the multiplexer 20 to return the usage right of the touch screen controller 40 to the external host 70.
  • In an embodiment, if the first image source is the microprocessor 50 in the internal of the display device 100 before the OSD menu function is triggered, and if the user changes the signal source input port switching parameter through the OSD menu function, after the OSD menu function is closed, the display circuit 30 controls the multiplexer 20 to switch the usage right of the touch screen controller 40 to the external host 70.
  • When the first image source is the microprocessor 50, the first image of the microprocessor 50 can be transmitted to the external host 70 through the multiplexer 20, and the external host 70 and the multiplexer 20 can be connected through a universal serial bus (USB); or the first image of the microprocessor 50 is transmitted to the external host 70 through a USB controller (not shown); or the first image of the microprocessor 50 is transmitted to the external host 70 through a wireless device (not shown), though the disclosure is not limited thereto. Certainly, the external host 70 can also transmit video data to the display circuit 30 through a cable or wireless network device (not shown) for playing. The external host 70 may have an operating system, for example, the Microsoft Windows operating system or the Apple operating system, though the disclosure is not limited thereto.
  • It should be noticed that in the normal display mode, a usage right of the display circuit 30 in a touch interface is handed to a computing platform according to an initial configuration of the system, where the computing platform refers to the microprocessor 50 or the external host 70. When the screen adjustment mode is entered, once the user finishes adjusting the parameters of the OSD menu and disables the OSD menu function, the usage right of the display circuit 30 is set to the computing platform. Alternatively, when the screen adjustment mode is entered for a predetermined time and the touch display panel 10 does not transmit any parameter-related second detection result det2 to the touch screen controller 40, the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30 is closed to enter the normal display mode, and the usage right of the display circuit 30 is set to the computing platform.
  • Moreover, the display device 100 can be applied to a smart TV or a smart monitor. When the display device 100 is the smart TV or the smart monitor, the display device 100 may have an Internet function or a set-up box to facilitate the user watching Internet videos of Youtube or TV programs. A wireless technique, for example, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) can be configured to the display device 100, though the disclosure is not limited thereto. The display circuit 30 can synchronously transmit or switch the received cable or wireless images and network signals to the external host 70 through USB or other manner.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a display device according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, a structure of the display device 200 is similar to that of the display device 100, and a difference there between is that the microprocessor 50 or the external host 70 of the computing platform is unnecessary to determine whether the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern, and the display device 200 includes a gesture determination circuit 60.
  • The gesture determination circuit 60 is coupled between the display circuit 30 and the touch screen controller 40. The gesture determination circuit 60 is a physical circuit, which may include a logic circuit and a look-up table, though the disclosure is not limited thereto. The gesture determination circuit 60 determines whether the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern. If the first detection result det1 complies with the predetermined pattern, the gesture determination circuit 60 sends a command com3 to trigger the OSD menu function of the display circuit 30.
  • If it is required to switch the image of the first image source, the user can select the first image source of the display circuit 30 through the OSD menu for switching to the microprocessor 50 or the external host 70.
  • FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are flowcharts illustrating an operation flow of a display device having the OSD menu function according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, according to descriptions of the aforementioned embodiments, the operation of the display device of the present embodiment may include following steps.
